Rick,
I know every one of those cars well. Years ago, with Stock/Super Stock combo running at E-Town, and at the time there being no breakout, the Bennett & Siriani car would sit alone in the staging lanes for a half hour. We had to flip coins to see who would pull in second, insuring a guaranteed loss. B & S had everyone covered by a mile! Bernie Agaman and Claude Urevig were just as fast.
Also, I think Jim Lovallo got out of his Chevy and into (I believe) the Lupo/Dupree/Croteau car, or perhaps a Max Wedge car before the Cuda came into the picture for Lupo.
This is insane: I could go on all night with this! (And it doesn't get any better than that!) If you have not already done so, go to my website (link below) and click on Moparcheology at the top. Then click on Vintage Mopar Drag Racing for more cool stuff.

"The Gypsy" was at Belvedere, Ill Mopar show a couple of years ago. Seemed to be a shell of it's former self...with lots of current technology on it. I talked with the owner Dave Tweedy. "What does it run?" I asked. He gave me a look and said, "It's much too valuable to race it." Wow, I couldn't beleive it. I admire people like Fred, and others who race their cars like they are ment to be. Keep the history alive on the track, not in some stuffy old museum.

I remember one of the slick things that the Bennet & Sirianni Camaro had was some kind of plumbing that tapped into the cooling system on the tow vehicle. When they arrived the motor was all warmed up and ready to go. I've not seen anything like it before or since.

I have a picture around here somewhere of that car. I sold Dave a standard bore T/A block, with a close match on the build date for that car, 6 years ago.

Here's Myl vs. Trapazano at an NHRA points meet at old Pittsburgh International Dragway. Bob George could probably tell you tons about these two.

I know the Werst car was pretty well destroyed. Whoever is restoring it is really into a big time project!!
Remember Ed Hamburger and his small block stockers?

Well I go back a fue years I still rember Harold Ramsey and his 57 Chevy and don't forget Thelma Ramsey she drove the 57 when Harold got the 58. O and the 4 speed may have bin legal on the local tracks in a 57 but when thay went to Indy thay had to run the 3 speed, 4 speed ok in the Vets. I evean rember striccly stock,and the old Atlis Bucrons. Here is my favorite Bob Harrop and the flying carpet. This is a restored aluminum front max wedge. That is Bob driving after a 30 year apsence, when he got back from the run thay ran the play back tach and said Bub you didn't shift when the shift light went on. Bob said I shifted it by ear. It went 10.50 on that run shifting by ear

How many of you guys remember Eddie Matsko and the Chevy A-Go-Go Modified Production 58 Chevy? It was one of a kind, and it is being restored now.
